Good to see some nuance and reflection in a Lemmy comment section :)
Tbh, not all jealousy is misdirected. My ex did a ton of inappropriate-but-not-cheating things with other guys and told me that she was close to cheating on two occasions. Didn’t exactly make me feel secure in the relationship and I did tell her that I felt uncomfortable with what she was doing. She ended up actually cheating with one of these guys.
I’ve been with my wife for ~10 years now, and I never felt any bit of jealousy with her at all, ever. I can just trust her and I do.

So apparently, it’s not a me-problem here.
